MRS. 4CLEvELAND'S REQUEST.
She Asks President Frisbie to Let Her
be Frank Folsom Once More.

From the Mem YoyE World
AURORA, N. Y, June 19.--The second
day of Mrs Cleveland's visit at Wells College
was as uneventful as its predecessor.
''For few days let me be Frank Folsom
again. she said to the venerable President,
land make no more display than you were
accustomed to in the good old days when l
was student of the institution
In accordance with her wishes she mingles
with the undergraduates in the par
lors and halls and sits with them
at the big table in the basement as
though she was actually one of their
number again. A desultory drizzle which
commenced early in the morning led Mrs.
Cleveland to think that the quiet of her
apartments would be preferable to drive
to the Presbyterian church in the village,
which is usually attended by the students in
body, but she finally concluded to brave
the rainstorm and entered the college
''bus" with her old companions.
Notwithstanding the rain, when she
reached the church the walks were lined
with an expectant throng, who had antici-
pated her arrival President Frisbie bore
himself very proudly as he escorted her
from the "bus" to the vestibule. Precisely
as was her custom during her four years of
student life, Mrs Cleveland tripped up the
the pulpit and alternately waved a long
palm leaf and joined in singing the HYMNS
announced by the pastor, Rev. DR.. Wells.
The sermon was addressed to the gradual
ing class of the Cayuga Lake Military Acad-
envy, and the music by the academy quar-
tette reflected much credit on their instruc-
tor, Prof. ROLAND.
Following precedent established years
ago the members of the graduating class of
ia1 hxrt haiy rants
dined with the faculty, and Mrs. Cleveland
did the honors, dressed in black silk with jet
trimming.
In the evening, accompanied by Misses
Kingsford, Alexander and Severance, of the
class of 'S5, Mrs. Cleveland drove to the
church to listen to the baccalaureate sermon
by DR.. Frisbie. She occupied her old seat
under the pulpit She wore white colored
silk with gold trimmings and bonnet to
match.
When Mrs. Cleveland and her former
classmates, Misses Kingsford Alexander
and Severance, reached Aurora they ex-
pected that one of the most pleasant features
of their brief stay would be the presenta-
ton of a handsome diamondring to their for
mer preceptress, Miss Helen f. Smith. Mrs.
Cleveland had the ring carefully laid away
| in her trunk, and had been, requested by the
other ladies to make the presentation. Sud
| denly one of the party suggested that any
thing attempted ON Friday was sure to end
unfortunately, and at Mrs, Cleveland's re-
| quest the presentation was delayed until
after midnight, when it was made amid
much hilarity and with many well-wishes.
On Monday evening concert will be
| given under the auspices of the Castalia
| Quartette, of New York, formerly of Buffalo,
where it became familiar to lovers of CLASH
cal music as the Dannreuther Quartette.
Tuesday morning, at 10 O'Clock, the class
day exercises will take place, when the
essays of the graduating class will be read,
interspersed with musical selections. The
members of the graduating class are Miss
Addie Kenyon, of Waverly, N: Y; Miss
Martha Steel, of Springfield, o.; Miss
Jessie Stevens, of Neenah, Wis, and Miss
Florence Wells, of Clinton, La.
